Basically there's a chance of it leaking memory by mistaking a data word for a pointer. This is unlikely to happen by accident and usually inconsequential if it does happen, but maybe there could be malicious data that makes it happen Also, it's a non-compacting gc that has to touch all the garbage as it sweeps, not a reliability issue per se, but not great for performance especially in large, long-running systems. It's brilliant though. It's one of those things that seemingly can't possibly work, but it turns out to be quite effective. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
